I have always been fascinated by astronomy, especially meteors - so i've been collecting tektite, small meteorites and most recently moldavite because I love it's colour and texture.

Upon reading a few articles on Moldavite tonight, i realized that I will soon be in posession of quite a number of good sized pieces of czech moldavite - which unbeknownst to me, have some kind of strange effect on people.

I'm almost afraid to open my mailbox when they arrive now - can someone please explain the stories i've heard, what this "spaced out" feeling is caused by when people use it, and more importantly, why i've read that "Its important to ONLY use moldavite for collecting, or in healing" and what the heck that's supposed to mean.
It sounds like an ominous warning.

It has me worried that there is some kind of potential bad that can becaused by these pieces. I really want to understand so I'm not afraid of the beautiful specimins i've purchased and would love to be able to wear (one is a huge, 88.5 carat sterling wire wrapped pendant) without worrying about what could(?) happen as a result.

I can't believe i've purchased something I've waited to hold in my hands for my whole adult life, and now these random stories i've read have me terrified of it before I've even touched it.

My only real experience with crystals of any kind is that oddly (and i don't follow new age or occult things) anytime i've worn a piece of amethyst or have worn it close to me, it breaks, cracks or shatters. (I've tested the theory on numerous pieces, thinking it was a fluke, or a bad stone - but every single time, they just crack in my hands, around my neck or while sitting somwhere close to me - very weird, cant explain that one either)

So anyone who has some info on these stories i've heard, or experiences with it themselves - i would really love to hear from you.

I work with crystals a lot - in a way I think crystals guided me to this forum as I needed a Liver Flush and sychronicities led me here.

I have the crystal bio on Moldavite from the Book of Stone - Who they are and What they teach. I know many are skeptical on crystals but for those who are open minded enough to understand subtle energies. Here it is. BTW - I carry a Moldavite in my pocket always along with a number of other crystals.

Scientific theorists differ on hypothesis regarding Moldavites origin. Some contend that Moldavite is an earthly rock melted by the heat of a meteorite crash, while others suggest that the material is of extraterrestrial origin possibly a type of obsidian ejected by a lunar volcano. A third theory holds that Moldavite is a fusion product of meteoric material and earthly rock that were vaporized in the intense heat of impact explosion, the resultant gas being propelled high in the atmosphere. This gaseous material would have then cooled and condensed into a liquid gas which 'rained' down on the crater and surrounding areas. Regardless of which, if any, of these ideas is correct, it is known that Moldavite indeed fell from the sky because of the aerodynamic shape of certain pieces, and virtually all scientists associate it with meteoric collision that formed the Bohemian plateau and surrounding mountains.

The even which gave birth to Moldavite was one of tremendous power. The force of the impact explosion has been estimated at six trillion megatons, far more than all the atom bombs on earth. The heat, as mentioned above, was high enough to vaporize rock, and the main body of the meteorite is believed to have passed completely through the earths crust, penetrating into the liquid iron at the planets core. This deep impact is said to have disturbed the currents of rotating liquid enough to have caused a reversal of the Earths magnetic poles.

Throughout history, and even pre-history. Moldavite has been regarded as a spiritual talisman. The Neolithic people of Eastern Europe wore Moldavite at least 25000 years ago, and the famed Venus of Willendorf - the earliest known goddess statue - was discovered in a digging site which contained a number of moldavite amulets. People of that period also used Moldavite for arrows and cutting tools.

More recently, Moldavite has been viewed as a relic of the legend of the Holy Grail. In some recountings, the Grail was said to be not a cup but a stone, an emerald that fell from the sky. In other stories, the Grail cup was carved from Emerald. The correspondences of the Stone of the Grail and Moldavite are clear. The ancients called all clear green gemstones 'Emeralds', and Moldavites is the only such stone to have ever fallen from the sky. In history, there was even a physical 'Grail' discovered and brought to Napoleon, who was disappointed to find it was green glass. But, of course, Moldavite is green glass. Another chalice, this one made of gold and adorned with Moldavites, was passed down through the centuries and disappeared during the second world war. In the 1930's, the famed artist, mystic Nicholas Roerich, compared a Moldavite (which he called agni mani, meaning 'fire pearl') to the fabled stone of Shambhala, further asserting it was the same stone contained in the holy grail. Interestingly the energetic effects of Moldavite was believed to bring harmony to marital relationships, and was used as a traditional betrothal gift for centuries. Once again, the Stone of the Grail was believed to have similar properties.

In modern times, Moldavite has emerged as one of the stones most prized for metaphysical purposes. It's effect vary widely, from mild to almost overwhelming, from physical cleaning to spiritual breakthroughs - yet the common denominator seems to be the revitalization and acceleration of ones path of personal evolution.

People who hold Moldavite for the first time most often experience its energy as warmth or heat, usually felt first in ones hand and then progressively throughout the body. In some cases there is an opening of the heart chakra which is characterized by strange (but not painful) sensations in the chest, an upwelling of emotion and a flushing of the face. This has happened often enough to have been given a name - 'The Moldavite Flush'. Other ways of feeling Moldavites energies include pulsation in the hand while holding the stone, tingling in the third eye and heart chakras, a feeling of light headedness or dizziness, and occasional sense of being lifted out of ones body. Most people feel Moldavite exites their energies and speeds up their vibrations, especially the first days or weeks, until one becomes acclimated to it. However some individuals, especially Starborns, find that Moldavite relaxes them, as if it were a little piece of home.

Moldavites energies can activate any and all of the chakras. Its vibration tend to focus in areas where one has blockages or 'wounds', first clearing these areas and then moving into resonance with ones entire energetic system. Resonance with Moldavite can take on many forms - chakras can open; synchronicities can increase in frequency and significance; ones dreamlife can become dramatically more meaningful and vivid: one can connect with spirit guides: physical, emotional or spiritual healings can happen; jobs and relationships may change; meditation can become more deep and powerful - yet all these can be viewed as symptoms of a shift in ones own energies. This shift is what Moldavite can catalyze. With it's high and intense vibrations, it can resonate with ones energy pattern in a way that creates an intensification of ones spiritual vitality and an acceleration of ones progress on the path of ones highest destiny. This is much the same effect that the legend says one might have received through exposure to the fabled Stone of the Grail.

The spiritual Grail may be thought of as the awakened and fully realized intelligence of the human heart. Moldavite once again paralells the Stone of the Grail in it's affinity to the heart and the heart chakra. Through the hearts electromagnetic field and it's accompanying field of unmeasurable subtle energies, we can directly perceive the conditions of other people and the world. The hearts field resonates with the all that is, from atoms to galaxies, from individual soul to cosmic consciousness. And the heart not only perceives - it changes conditions. Through the hearts will, it is possible to alter reality, and, knowing this, one has the responsibility of willing the highest good in each moment without knowing what form it will take. Moldavite offers the promise and carries the potential for assisting one in fully awakening the intelligence of the heart.

Moldavite is a powerful aid for meditation and dream work. In both cases, taping a piece of Moldavite to the forehead can have the effect of creating a much more vivid and visionary inner experience. Moldavite increases ones sensitivity to guidance and ones ability to discern the messages sent from higher realms. Moldavite can be a powerful catalyst for self-healing, clearing blockages and opening the meridians, as well as energizing the interconnections between all aspects of ones etheric, astral, causal and physical bodies. Like the ancient, fabled agni mani, revered in ancient lore, Moldavite is a talisman of spiritual awakening, transformation and evolutionary growth.

In addition to use in meditation and dream work, Moldavite can be used as jewelery. This conveys the advantage of being able to keep its energies in ones vibrational field throughout the day, for further strengthening of its effects. Doing this also draws an increased incidence of beneficial synchronicities into ones daily life. Some people have to accustom themselves gradually to wearing Moldavite, because of it's energetic intensity, but most will make the adjustment in a few days.

Moldavite also offers an energy of spiritual protection. When one is in resonance with it's high-frequency vibrations, negative entities and energies cannot connect with or hang onto ones field. In alignment with its transformational properties, Moldavite tends to disconnect one from unhealthy attachment and magnetize the persons and situations one most needs for evolutionary progress.

Moldavite can be cut and facetted into gems and other forms, some of which can enhance its energies. The forms which can enhance its energies. The forms which magnify and focus Moldavites vibrations include pyramids, Platonic solids, spheres and star tetrahedrons. The most powerful gem cuts are round brilliant, radiant octagon, trilliant and oval. Round moldavite beads are both gentle and powerful. Like spheres, they allow an even omnidirectional flow of Moldavites vibrations, accompanied by a kind of softness, which may come from the stones rounded shape.

Moldavite is an ideal stone for use in making energy tools. It can be glued or otherwise attached to other stones to magnify both energies. It can be added to wands, headbands, templates, grids and all sorts of devices to intensify their effects.

Moldavite has the ability to enhance and accelerate the beneficial effects on many other stones. It works well with all types of Quartz, as well as Amethyst, Citrine, Rose Quartz, Sugilite, Charoite, Lapis, Larimar, Rhodochrosite, Aquamarine, Heliodor, Pietersite, Smokey Quartz, Selenite, and most other gemstones. For enhanced visionary experience, Herkimer 'Diamonds' are an excellent ally. Genuine Diamond, in crystal or gem form, further intensifies Moldavites transformational energies. Libyan Gold Tektite increases Moldavites empowerment of the third chakra, focus of personal power and will.

Moldavite is one of the 12 synergy stones, along with Danburite, Tanzanite, Azuztulite, Phenacite, Herderite, Tibetan Tektite, Satyaloka Quartz, Petalite, Brookite, Natrolite and Scolecite. This combination is the most powerful yet discovered for enhancement of the etheric pattern of the perfected self. Moldavite also works harmoniously with each of these stones on it's own.

If one were forced to be marooned on a desert island with only one stone as an ally, Moldavite would be an excellent choice.

Moldavite is a cardinal storm element stone. Storm represents massive transformation, cleansing and change on all levels, and Moldavite certainly lives up to that reputation. Moldavite is perhaps the most easily felt of all minerals. It carries intense frequency that deeply activates the entire chakra system, stimulate the kundalini, cracks open ones psychic channels and propels one into ones future with the force of a hurricane. But dont let that scare you! Sometimes this 'cosmic boot in the butt' is exactly what is required to dislodge psychic debris from ones life and kick-start ones spiritual development.

Moldavite lays bare the limitations one has put on ones life and development. Then it explodes those limitations and propels you headlong down your spiritual path. If you are addicted to safety and surety, then watch out for Moldavite! This ally tolerates no qualifying addendums to ones statement that one is ready to move forward. Once you have invoked this allys power, it is best to be truely willing to face and release whatever has help you back so far. You can either go gracefully and willingly, or you can go kicking and screaming - but you WILL go ! As a great and wise guide once said to me - "you asked for it!"

Beyond it's life changing capacity, however, Moldavite can also be a truely fun stone to engage. Its energies progressivly unzip the chakras, allowing for powerful activations, amazing cosmic journeys, and humbling revelations about the size and scope of this thing we call spirit. It is an excellent communication device for talking with ones relatives and friends on other planets and in other dimensions. In fact, I would qualify it as THE cosmic attunement stone.

It powerfully enhances the dream state and should be used only in moderation until one is acclimatized with its frequency. In fact, I always council my students and clients to meditate with Moldavite once a day for five days before carrying a piece on ones person or wearing for any length of time otherwise headaches, hot flashes, dizziness, nausea and other interesting frequency adjustment symptoms can follow. This ally teaches one to respect the power it carries and to respect the power one carries within oneself. If you are truely ready to move forward on your path, then Moldavite is the ally to approach.

Spiritual : Yes Moldavite allows one to have the experiences most people are seeking when they refer to spiritual experiences. Connection to guides, expanded awareness that would put any hallucination to shame, and a visceral experience of the highest frequency are all possible when one invokes this allys energy.

Emotional : Be ready to to peer into the great, gaping maw of your deepest, darkest fears, secrets and shadows. Moldavite brings to the surface that which you most need to recognize, honor, integrate or clear so be prepared to look in the mirror. Once you have stirred up the mud, however, Moldavite will shine the brightest light into the depths, illuminating the monsters and revealing that they are really mice !

Physical : Moldavite is an activation stone -not really a healing stone. I generally do not use it with clients unless they are balanced and ready to move to the next phase. If you are frustrated with not being able to identify the roots of your imbalance or disease, however, then by all means invoke this energy! It often creates a healing crisis that clearly points to understanding how you have done this to yourself and how to get out of it!

Affirmation : I open myself to transformation and I invoke the manifestation of my highest destiny.
